MTL - America’s Big Hero-Chapter 21 : Hector Salamanga
"Burns Cecil, old Mr. Luther's best helper, the head of the factory." In the factory office, Sol was introducing Sean.
Sean, who is the best helper, doesn't believe it. If he is so good, he won't bankrupt the company.
However, the factory still needs him to operate now, especially the workers in the factory who were standing outside the factory vacant lot. They need him to comfort them. They all come from the nearby town of Basek.
"Hello, Burns Cecil." Sean shook hands with the other party, sat down and said straight to the point: "I won't talk about the factory's previous problems, and what you need to do now is to contact the previous supplier. Merchants and sales channels to get the factory up and running again.”
"I understand, sir." Burns Cecil breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he had lost his job, but he didn't expect a turnaround.
"Second, the price and market positioning of previous products need to be changed."
Burns Cecil frowned slightly. Before, he was in charge of the specific operations of the company. He was very attentive, and no one wanted his hard work to be denied. "What plans do you have, sir?"
"Reduce the price of the product in an all-round way, even if it is to reduce the quality, market positioning..."
"Sir, I have to interrupt you, product quality is the lifeline of a brand, and it must not be moved. One's request to reduce costs will only destroy the brand!" Burns Cecil, who was meticulous in combing his hair, looked on his face. Seriously, Sean's proposal seemed absurd to him.
It's completely the impulse of young people. They don't understand that if you run a company and brand, you just think that low cost is enough, that's wrong!
Since the boss asked him to come back to continue the business, he must be responsible to the boss!
Sean opened his mouth in shock, looking at Burns Cecil's serious face, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, "You really think so."
"Of course!" Burns Cecil nodded heavily, his eyes firm and unshakable.
"Okay, maybe you're right." Sean stood up and patted Burns Cecil on the shoulder, "Then follow your instructions and let the factory run first."
"Okay, boss, I see." Burns Cecil said straight.
Walking out of the office, Sean shook his head speechlessly, "Who gave him the confidence, Marx? The company has gone bankrupt and is still so firm!"
Saul smiled and shrugged, his honesty made people feel distressed.
"Don't care about him, find someone to replace him after everything is running normally."
……
On September 11th, although Burns Cecil was a little too upright, he still had the ability. After Sean took out a sum of money to settle the payment of some suppliers, he re-opened the factory within 5 days. up and running.
With the camouflage and capital, Sean's second batch is even bigger.
2 tons of alcohol were shipped, and the construction started quietly at night. With assembly line operations, 10,000 bottles of wine were quietly made.
This time there is no need for Sean to come forward in person. Alec was used as a shock last time. Those gangs all knew that this new smuggler was ruthless enough, and they seemed very honest in the second transaction.
In just one month, Sean earned more than 600,000 yuan.
In the past few days, Yu Rui has contacted a few bad comrades again, and Sean's subordinates have expanded to 10 people.
They are all veterans who have been on the battlefield!
Since then, Sean has also set his sights on continuing to expand the sales range.
The map of New Jersey was spread out on the table, and he marked the five major cities one by one.
The five major cities in New Jersey are Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Elizabeth and the capital, Trenton.
Among them, the second largest city, Jersey City, is next to Newark, on the banks of the Hudson River, and across the river from Manhattan, New York.
Paterson, the third largest city, is also very close, 10 kilometers northwest of Basek.
Fourth Elizabeth City is not far from Newark, half an hour's drive south along the river.
Only the capital, Trenton, is a little further away, but it's not less than 100 kilometers away. This is one of the reasons why Sean set Newark as his first target.
"Just Jersey City!" Sean focused on the map.
Jersey City has a population of 230,000, but the market is bigger than Newark. It is an industrial city, and it is known as West Wall Street. There are more rich people, so consumption is naturally larger.
More importantly, Jersey City is too close to Newark. There must be news about the changes in the smuggled wine market here. If you think about it, it will not be too difficult to promote.
……
When the bootleg liquor business was getting bigger and bigger, the local Long Branch newspaper reported an anecdote about a burglary.
The robbery became an anecdote because, that afternoon, a murderer broke into a house to steal, but he didn't want anyone in the house. The gangster got excited and called two people in the house to be killed on the spot, and then rummaged for some valuables. After fleeing, a man and a woman were killed in the house, and they were all naked. Interestingly, the woman was the hostess of the house, while the man was not the owner...
The owner of the house was busy in his factory when he was notified by the police. According to the employees present at the time, the boss cried and scolded after receiving the news, and his mood was on the verge of collapse.
In the end, the newspapers speculated that this news was good news or bad news for the host.
……
Just when Sean decided to promote to Jersey City, New York, Brooklyn, a man frowned slightly, "No alcohol in Newark, New Jersey?"
The man's name is Stephen Crea. He is a member of the Lucches Family, one of the five major Mafia families in New York, and is responsible for the alcohol smuggling business within the family.
The five families first developed because of the 'prohibition'. Although the main source of income for the family became poison in the later period, the business of alcohol smuggling has never stopped.
"Yes, Mr. Stephen, I sent someone to inquire, and suddenly a guy named Sean appeared over there to sell smuggled alcohol. He even had a conflict with a local gang and killed 7 people on the spot. , Now, where did all the bootleg wine in Newark come from ~www.novelbuddy.com~ staff whispered reports.
"Damn, where did the guy come from, have you heard of it before?!"
"No."
"Damn it, you grabbed the Lucches family for the business!" The man scolded, pondered for a while and asked again, "Who does the business over there cooperate with?"
Since the U.S. authorities suddenly stepped up their crackdown on the mafia two years ago, a big mafia family has begun to shrink its power, allowing a large number of small gangs to develop under it. First, it distracts the attention of the authorities, and second, it transforms itself into a channel dealer. Reduce costs and reduce risks, so the business is distributed in cooperation with the largest local gang family.
Especially the Lucchess family, after the boss Claro was imprisoned in the crackdown two years ago, the family strife, the Lucchess family's momentum has weakened a lot.
"The people from the Salamanga family cooperated." The staff reported.
"Didn't those Spaniards find out that there were mice in their warehouse?" Stephen Crea couldn't help but scolded when his subordinates shook their heads, "A bunch of brainless stupid cows."
"Do we need our action team to take action?"
"No, tell the people in Salamanga, those brainless Spaniards are a little stupid, but as long as someone waved the red cloth, they would rush up and smash them to pieces."
"Okay, I know."
……
"Sean?" He was thin and raised his head for the slightly stooped Hector Salamanga, looking at his subordinates with vulture-like eyes, "Who knew this Sean came out of that sewer. !"
"Trash!" Seeing that no one answered, Hector cursed.
"Find him and kill him."
"The majesty of the Salamanga family cannot be challenged."
